Why does there seem to be no beginner's tutorials for unadulterated CONNECT? For us who are brand new to MicroStation V8i is irrelevant. At some point the V8i umbilical chord will have to be cut. I know I will get a lot of flack from V8i users...... but I shouldn't have to learn V8i before learning CONNECT. Maybe in 2019 MicroStation can move forward and leave the past behind (at least have that option for newbies).
Please keep in mind Connect still has a lot, repeat a lot of bugs. But you should not need to learn v8i if you're starting up on Connect. There should be the desired tutorials, they'll be hard to find I'm sure. I just did a brief search, didn't see anything but they must be somewhere. Someone from Bentley should chime in.

Thank you for your input! I know most if not all MicroStation users are seasoned V8i'ers. I am trying to merge the file structure "WorkSpace" and "Workset" and work thru the basic MicroStation V8i tutorials. Unfortunately I don't have the internal support of having anyone that knows MicroStation at my work. The good and bad is that I am a very seasoned AutoCAD user. I know how to draft but I am relating my knowledge of AutoCAD and translating to V8i and then to CONNECT......very VERY frustrating.
Yes, I had to use Autocad for a couple years, it's all the same concepts, but oh so frustrating. The good news (bad news for me) is Bentley has changed many things for the benefit of Autocad users, their biggest potential new customer market.
Don't give in, find some instruction for Connect 'New to Microstation'
While I can't say because I don't know, Our CAD manager is origianlly an AutoCAD guy, and he says that the CONNECT configuration arrangement is much more like AutoCAD than any earlier MicroStation version. I don't know how or if that can help you, but you if you think about it that way, you might be able to figure a few more things out

If you go to our learning server you should be able to find training for new users for MicroStation Connect Edition without have to know J, V8 or V8i first.
